Effective collision refers to collisions with sufficient energy to react. Since temperature did not change, there is no change to proportion of such collisions.
hey, sorry to disturb you but can you help me with this?
thanks in advance.

The precipitate is Ca(OH)2. It's only very partially soluble so will form a white solid. After filtration only Ba(OH)2 remains in high concentration. The barium hydroxide reacts with CO2 to form a white ppt, BaCO3

But then it's asking for nitrogen so don't you only look at the nitrogens? :p
I think the statement is badly worded. However, had nitrogen undergone both oxidation and reduction it would be called a disproportionation reaction. But the reaction here is definitely redox.

Yes but why is it helium?
The main assumptions made by the ideal gas equation are:

1. The volume of the gas particles is small relative to the volume occupied by the gas.
2. There are no forces of interaction between the gas particles.
3. Collisions between individual gas particles, and between gas particles and the walls of the container are elastic, that is momentum is conserved.

Helium gas is monatomic, and the helium atom is small, satisfying condition 1.

The helium atom is spherical and has no dipole moment so the attractive forces between helium atoms are small, satisfying condition 2.

Being spherical, collisions between helium atoms approach the ideal condition of elasticity, satisfying condition 3.
